Not a Southampton fan but I am a fan of this guy. Back in the day watching the replays of the games on what was then the ITV version of MOTD was something else. His reflexes and athleticism with his saves was like no other keeper in the league.
Legend! Can you imagine if we hadn't sold Wayne Bridge to chelski and we had a chaiman at the time to back strachan in the transfer window. That season after losing to arsenal in the final of the fa Cup in the euefa Cup could have been magical! So his sons a massive saints supporter.....is he a goal keeper though?
He's Finland's current Goalkeeper coach he works with Lukas Hradecky and other top finnish goalies. He worked under Nathan Jones for two games at Brighton. I see no reason why we didn't hire Niemi after Andrew Sparkes left tbh considering Niemi has coaching experience in the championship.
Best Saint's keeper I've ever seen and I grew up watching Shilton and Flowers.
First, luv ya saints! I went to your stadium today, loved it, absolutely loved it, every second of the way!
Top man, fantastic goalkeeper. Was gutted when he left us for Fulham.
Great man, great memories. Antii Niemi we are right behind you

Best goal keeper we’ve had, I wish we had him now
Niemi, Jääskeläinen, Friedel, Cudicini, Sørensen, Van Der Saar, Given, Keller.
So many Legendary keepers in the early 00's PL
Back when saints had a good team. Seems such a long time ago
Don't know how he never got a game for Scotland!
He's not finished, he's only 28
Does anyone know what Antti is doing now? Is he still involved in football ?
Ucl pundit in Finland

One meter off the line in the penalty save but back then it was sort of allowed
